Luffy’s obsession with beetles (like hercules beetles and stag beetles) perfectly matches his character for many reasons; It matches his childlike wonder and curiosity, luffy is really childlike at heart. His excitement over simple things, like meat, treasure, or strange animals, it reflects a pure, uninhibited joy. Beetles, especially big, armored ones, are the kind of thing that fascinate kids. His love for them just shows how much he enjoys the little things in life. It matches his love for strength and battles, beetles are strong insects, many species can lift many times their body weight and are known for their fighting abilities, especially in sumo-like beetle battles in Japan. Luffy, who loves to fight strong opponents and values strength, naturally gravitates toward beetles because they mirror that brute force in a fun package. It matches his connection to adventure, luffy thrives in the outdoors, sailing, exploring islands, etc. Beetles are part of that world. Catching bugs, especially on a new island, plays into his adventurous nature and his desire to explore everything around him. It also reflects the Japanese roots, bug catching is a very popular pastime among Japanese children. Oda likely included Luffy’s love of beetles as a cultural nod, he represents a free-spirited kid on an endless adventure. I absolutely LOVE Luffy’s interest with beetles, it’s definitely one of my favorite traits about him. #fyp #fypシ #fypシ゚viral #monkeydluffy #monkeydluffy👑 #luffy #luffyonepiece #onepieceluffy #iloveluffy #iloveluffysomuch #beetles #viral —- @zeynep @⊹ ࣪ ˖ Luffy ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵) ✧ @#1 LUFFY FAN FOREVER 😳😳‼️ @꒰🫐꒱﹒ 𝐋𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐲𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 ﹒⟢ @SR 🥞💫 ◄𓆩CHROMAKOPIA𓆪► @kay☆ @{^Sc@rlett^} @michael @alina ✮⋆˙ @⊹︎🤍𝐴𝑆𝐴𝑀𝐼💤⊹︎ @🍖👒Lili🍉🇵🇸 @4MiA @di @diffi⋆🕷⋆ @𝓔𝓵𝔂𝓼𝓲𝓪🍞 @Luffy's favv gf 🫶🏻 @Lunar ✮ @Lynn!!★ @rita ﾟ•. @rukia ❦ @strawhat @suki . beel lover ! - @onlyluffys
